Positive

• Clear, compliant disclosure of ownership and voting/dispositive powers by Oaktree entities
• Quantified convertible exposure (71,935 shares) included in the ownership calculation

Negative

• Material stake above 5% (5.12%) could attract investor scrutiny
• Shared control only — no sole voting or dispositive power disclosed, limiting direct influence

Insights

Investment Governance Expert

Oaktree discloses a >5% passive stake with shared control and convertible-related holdings.

Shared voting and dispositive power over 809,047 shares indicates coordinated ownership among affiliated entities rather than an individual controlling investor. The filing explicitly reports 0 sole voting or dispositive power, which aligns with a pooled-fund or advisory arrangement.

Key dependencies include the 71,935 shares issuable on conversion of bonds; monitor whether those convertible instruments convert or are redeemed, as they are the only stated near-term source of additional common shares in the reported amount.

Equity Analyst

Ownership equals 5.12% based on a 6/30/2025 share base; dilution from convertibles is quantified.

The reported 5.12% stake is calculated using 15,736,950 shares outstanding plus the 71,935 convertible-related shares. That makes the holding material enough to trigger disclosure rules but not a controlling position.

Watch for any future amendments or Schedule 13D activity if the stake, convertibles, or voting arrangements change; additional filings would show whether the position becomes active beyond passive investment.
